Sheriff Abigail: Launch Break ( Cantina Fight) - Wild West Girls

3D printable miniature – Main character of the debut campaign by Million Miniatures Studios

🎯 Project Purpose
This miniature belongs to Wild West Girls, the first collection of miniatures developed and published under my own independent label: Million Miniatures Studios.

The goal was to create original characters that blend storytelling, visual design, and functional 3D printing – tailored for wargames, RPGs, and collectors. Abigail Morgan, the town sheriff, is the collection’s leading figure.

She also served as the centerpiece of my first successful Kickstarter campaign:

🧠 Narrative Context
After thwarting a dangerous raid on the town’s armory, Sheriff Abigail Morgan hopes for a brief moment of peace. Trusting her deputy to keep things under control, she slips into something more comfortable, grabs her trusty Winchester, and heads to the cantina for a well-deserved lunch.

Her order? Sausage, an entire loaf of bread, and a full mug of cold beer — which she downs in a single go.

But before she can even take a bite, the saloon doors burst open. Towering and furious, Colosus Highmountain, the most feared brute in McGold’s gang, storms in. A violent clash follows. Abigail narrowly avoids his brutal assault and lands a well-aimed shot to his arm, sending him scrambling through the saloon’s front door — wounded but alive.
